arXiv:2606. 21641v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have been proposed as hyperparameter-optimization (HPO) advisors that "warm-start" search from prior knowledge, proposing strong configurations in very few evaluations.

arXiv:2607. 11969v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Point-adjustment (PA), long the default scoring protocol in time-series anomaly detection (TSAD), was shown by Kim et al.
The paper demonstrates that the way evaluation streams are assembled in streaming intrusion‑detection benchmarks—by interleaving, pooling, or replaying network captures—acts as an uncontrolled experimental variable that can significantly alter performance metrics. In the CICIDS2017 benchmark, reordering the same set of records under a fixed split changes the held‑out samples’ overlap, prevalence, and even reverses the ranking of two deterministic scorers. Similar effects are observed in the LITNET‑2020 benchmark, where pooling disjoint captures yields a single operating point that masks large variations in per‑capture prevalences, and minor changes in batch composition can shift reported AUC‑PR values by a few thousandths.

arXiv:2604. 17388v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Time series anomaly detectors have grown steadily more complex, incorporating attention mechanisms, adversarial training, and stochastic latent variables.
WAND is an unsupervised tabular anomaly detector that scores each point by how far its projection on unit‑sphere directions deviates from a sub‑Gaussian baseline. The directions that flag a point serve as its explanation, providing per‑feature attribution at no extra cost and recoverable via gradients. On 47 ADBench datasets, WAND matches or exceeds 16 baselines in ROC‑AUC while delivering more accurate, faithful explanations than post‑hoc SHAP, LIME, or ECOD, all with linear scoring time and a probe‑efficiency guarantee.
arXiv:2606. 09874v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reconstruction-based methods are widely used for time series anomaly detection, where models are trained to reconstruct subsequences, and anomalies are identified through reconstruction errors.
The paper introduces a training‑free, human‑in‑the‑loop anomaly detection framework that allows a domain expert to correct a PatchCore detector by editing its memory bank, without retraining or using gradients. Using only ten golden samples, operator corrections close a median 66% of the performance gap to a fully trained bank, improving 12 of 15 MVTec AD categories while harming none. The approach is evaluated with a rigorous held‑out protocol and shows that passive and active querying yield statistically indistinguishable gains, with a defect‑memory extension failing decisively.
arXiv:2606. 24589v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Scaling adversarial evaluation of large language models requires both a method for generating hard inputs and a reliable way to confirm that resulting failures are real.
arXiv:2609.39229v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automatic evaluation of faithfulness increasingly relies on a large language model acting as a judge, yet the most reliable judges are proprietary fr...
